Found its app package listed as "DesktopAppInstaller", but I wouldn't recommend to uninstall it either since it's not listed in All apps.

Okay, I will keep it then.

Brink, please say something about that error code the Store gives, and the Apps cannot get updated! They fail to update.

Thank you *Smile

Hello Geoff, *Smile

Q1) If it's a built-in app, then the user can restore the app using that tutorial only if the app was uninstalled for their account and not for all users. Being able to restore an app that was uninstalled for all users using the PowerShell command is currently broken in Windows, and break all built-in apps if used. The only way to restore them then is to do a repair install.

Q2) That's correct. If a built-in app is not listed in under step 3 in OPTION TWO, then it can't and be uninstalled. Those would be apps that are used by Windows, and shouldn't be uninstalled. For example, Microsoft Edge.

Q3) I haven't tied it to know, but I would assume that to be so.
